Exegesis
This is followed by two coordinated prepositional phrases, baqqir {בַּקִּיר | ba-qîr} ‘on the wall’ and u-vat-tachim {וּבַטָּחִים | u-va-ṭ-ṭā-ḥîm} ‘and on the plasterers,’ forming a meristic pairing of structure and its deceptive coating as objects of wrath.
Root and etymology
q-w-r
“wall”
In context — Ezekiel 13:15
And I will spend My wrath on the wall and on those who plastered it with whitewash, and I will say to you, “There is no wall, and there are no plasterers of it.”
